Team REBUG just recently released 4.84 REBUG LITE Edition just the other day. Now,since that time the team has aquired all the resources needed for the creation of 4.84.1 REBUG REX Custom firmware . Now that the testing phase has concluded, the team has now released 4.84 REX version of their famed Custom Firmware for the PS3. What makes REX different from LITE is that Lite is made of only CEX (retail) firmware and REX contains both retail firmware and then also contains debug (DEX) firmware elements as well. To create this powerful hybrid custom firmware. Which expands the feature list over any other CFW type with the included REBUG Toolbox (requires pkg installation),

The updated Cobra payload of v8.00/1 that made its recent debut in habib's 4.84 Starbuged CFW has also been bundled with this latest version of REBUG REX. One of the highlights of the version 8.0 progression of the Cobra payload has been a new feature allowing Kernel payload support via plugin developed by habib, The update to Cobra also brought a number of new improvements besides that lone feature, other feature consist of a much faster boot time on start up as in Cobra 8.00+ stage 1 has been removed. Then also in this version of REX you should note COBRA is ENABLED by default where as in previous versions of REX it has not been and required a toggled "ON" via the REBUG Toolbox, that is no more, in this version its enabled "out of the box" and ready to go

***ISO rips are required to get 100% support, for ex) after disabling syscalls, games like Call of Duty will not be able to play unless you use ISO rips, please DO NOT expect everything to be fully functional when you are disabling the built-in features from COBRA. Folder rips are NOT compatible with PSNPatch’s stealth mode due to its ability to disable COBRA’s disc-less feature for folder JB rips****

PS3MAPI support, allows you to attach process on both CEX/DEX via its own API app.

Backup Protection Removal,Add full PS3 Backup support on all multiMAN/sMAN/webMAN,IRIS manager forks and Managunz.

Allow modification on Syscall 6/7/8/9/10/11/15.

Burned/Burnt optical media support for PS1/PS3 Games on All models

Homebrew blocker– blocks homebrew access while Syscalls are disabled

new in 8.00 Run payload with Kernel privileges - Added option to run payload with kernel privileges like ps vita skprx. this is a big thing! one can make hooks, printf to socat, do whatever they feel like they need to do. at the current time only one payload is supported at a time. in the future i might increase this

New in 8.01 Added support for dynamic memory payloads, 5 of them can be started from "/dev_hdd0/boot_plugins_kernel.txt"

SET GAMEOS BOOT FLAG: Sets the GameOS boot flag. Use this if your PS3 is having trouble booting PS2 titles after running OtherOS or is accidentally sending you back to OtherOS when trying to enter recovery mode.

CREATE PACKAGES FOLDER ON PS3: Create /dev_hdd0/packages folder or your PS3 to be used with Package Manager.

EXPORT HYPERVISOR LV1 MEMORY: Save LV1 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.

EXPORT GAMEOS LV2 MEMORY: Save LV2 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.

EXPORT FLASH TO FILE: Backup your current NOR/NAND to file on dev_usb000. Takes about 45secs for NAND

SYSTEM MODE: Switches between NORMAL and REBUG mode
NORMAL mode which uses the DEBUG XMB is the default mode after installing Rebug.
REBUG mode sets the PS3 to the latest available version spoof (updatable in the future) and allows swapping between RETAIL and DEBUG XMB.

XMB OPERATION MODE: This option only works in REBUG mode and lets you select either the RETAIL or DEBUG XMB.** RETAIL MODE ensures Media Server Connection PERMA-Enabled **

Slot 0 is reserved for use for iso plugins (netiso.sprx and rawseciso.sprx).

Slots 1-6 are for boot plugins.

Plugins are loaded in the following way:

text file:/dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt shall contain a single plugin path per line.

How to Install a Plugin:

Copy plugin_name.sprx to you internal ps3 hdd (ex: /dev_hdd0/).

Create or Edit boot_plugins.txt in the root of the hdd (/dev_hd00/boot_plugins.txt) and add a line for the new plugin. Assuming you placed the sprx also in the root of the disk, add: /dev_hdd0/plugin_name.sprx). Add a new line for each plugin.

Software (SW)Emulation:Support for PS2 ISOs in non BC consoles was removed in Cobra 4.30 (usb), due tops2_softemu missing. It has been re-enabled now by hacking of ps2_netemu. You can use it in the same way as before, just load an ISO and launch from disc icon, Cobra core takes care of rest. No need for encrypted isos, isos patched with limg sectors, etc. Just your normal PS2 isos dumped from discs. However, there is NO SUPPORT for Optical Discs in PS2_NETEMU

Note 1: Don’t forget to set the memory cards in XMB, in the old memory card utility for PS/PS2, as ps2_netemu won’t let you assign them in game as long as you use the new ps2 launcher.

Note 2: Decrypted Config can now be used , place the CONFIG file in the same game path. An example below :

Hardware (HW) Emulation: PS3 Models: CECHA, CECHB, CECHC and CECHE Backwards Compatible (BC) Consoles will still use their respetive emulators(ps2_emu, ps2_gxemu), which have much better compatibility and also support optical discs, original or backup. Toggle Software Emulation is available via REBUG TOOLBOX.​

​

OTHEROS++ (LINUX) SUPPORT​

OtherOS++ is supported by all REBUG REX/LITE EDITIONS and will detect your existing OtherOS HDD partition. However none of the REBUG REX/LITE EDITIONS have emer_init.self patched(create smaller GameOS partition). We are working on a solution to this from GameOS.

In the meantime if you do want to create an OtherOS partition you have two options:​

1: Use a ANY 3.55 or 4.xx firmware that already has emer_init.self patched to the size you want.2: Patch REBUG 3.xx , 4.xx REX EDITION in PS3MFW Builder MOD by Haxxxen The related thread regarding ps3mfwbuilder MOD with this MFW Builder MOD, you can make your own CFW with the feature that allows you to create regions on vFLASH/NAND for OtherOS installation If you choose option 2 we highly recommend that you ONLY patch emer_init.self (Make sure to select BASE MFW VERSION and Create OtherOS HDD Region on mfwbuilder).​

Stage0 and stage0 base are merged, (Optimization on stage0 and stage1)

Syscall 11 is added to support full lv1 peek.

Syscall 15 is added to allow execution of any lv2 internal function.

Allow Syscall 11 to gain full access to syscall 6/7/9/10 to prevent modification from homebrews like multiMAN.

PS2 Launcher is no longer needed due to new codes in storage_ext, now COBRA can behave the same way that VSH does to apply configuration of DS3 controllers.

PS2 Launcher can still be used, which allows PS2ISO with netemu on backward compatible consoles.

PS2 Netemu toggle is added for Backward compatible consoles, it is very useful for those units with broken EE/GS chips as well.

PS2 Netemu can now use decrypted CONFIG, place the game config file in the same game path for ex) dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/GOW.ISO dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/GOW.ISO.CONFIG

HASH calculation algorithm is changed, now it uses static hashes, so the hashes will not be changed unless modules have major changes.

Stealth extension support to disable Syscall 15

Allows temporary LV1 peek from syscall 8 when "disabling COBRA" is not used

Run payload with Kernel privileges - Added option to run payload with kernel privileges like ps vita skprx. this is a big thing! one can make hooks, printf to socat, do whatever they feel like they need to do. at the current time only one payload is supported at a time. in the future i might increase this

UPDATE (5-20-2019): Version 2.1.1has been released. See below for additional Details!Here is v2 of the latest PS3 Hack to hit the PS3 Scene with the recent release of PS3HEN. This exploit for nonCFW console's provides homebrew support and a number of Custom Firmware intangibles for those console that can not install a traditional CFW, with those being lat production PS3 Slim models and all of the SuperSlim Consoles. While this is a tremendous release and breakthrough the information behind PS3HEN has been lacking and has served more questions then answers that could be provided. This is due in the way this was delivered and presented. We paused the reporting this on the frontpage until we were pleased with the documentation. So we took it upon ourselves to get the ball rolling on a newPS3HEN F.A.Q. detailing various aspects and info that will be useful for PS3HEN user's. Also we have started forming the PS3HEN Homebrew & Plugin Compatibility Chart

Version 2.x.x has come with a number of new additions for a better experience. Some of the new changes provide full PS3ISO Support ,As well as full BDISO and DVDISO support has been added, plus new improvements to PS3HEN's stabili​

Following up after the Announcement from @TheFloW back at the End of March this year, today @TheFloW "let the cat out of the bag" by releasing his newest Jailbreak for the PlayStation Vita, which will allow you to jailbreak both your PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV even on the newest System Firmwares 3.69 and 3.70 (which weren't able to jailbreak before). But not only that. While you can jailbreak your Devices on the specific System Firmwares mentioned before, you can also Downgrade your PlayStation Vita / TV to a lower Firmware to get the full potential of your Device like with the famous Hacks and Exploits on System Firmware 3.60 (such as HENkaku and modoru) and 3.65/3.67/3.68 (such as h-encore). So while you have been probably already prepared for this release back at the first announcement, together with the fact that @TheFloW was so kind to release his final Jailbreak even earlier as previous announced, we won't keep you on tenterhooks anymore. Here is everything you need to know.
​

Month after Month, the Great Time behind the RPCS3 PS3 Emulator shows more and more improvements in their work for their PS3 Emulator. As they did of course for March 2019, which you can check at their newest Progress Report. In fact, maybe this month is a little bit too technical when reading through their Release Notes but don't worry. You will again realize how good this PS3 Emulator became and how it is getting even better month after month. But one new improvement we have to stick out is the new Native Support for the DualShock 3 Controller when used within RPCS3. You might be wondering, why this new implementation comes so late? Well, there was already a full of third-party drivers but each of them weren't working perfectly. But the Team behind RPCS3 wanted to give you the best experience for playing your PS3 Game Titles. So, since you probably played your PS3 Games Titles with the Original DualShock 3 Controller on your Original PS3 Hardware, they thought about to allow the same on your PC while playing your favourite PS3 Game Titles using RPCS3. So they implemented a native support for the DualShock 3 Controller, as you would use it on your original PS3 Hardware. Kinda neat isn't it?​

Was just rerading about Rebug 4.84.1 REX on Rebug.me and when I reached the section about Rebug Toolbox Multi it says to contact the team via E-mail or make a pull request on github if one wishes to contribute. I don't use github, so that's not an option for me and I can't find a way to send them an E-mail. I would still want to contribute by making a Swedish translation. Any chance of that happening, @Joonie , @habib ?

I was just thinking about a Greek translation of the Xmb, since the last fw that had Greek unofficially was 4.81

@psykosis@ISAK.M@Cypher_CG89 please dont make a derrailing drama everytime a newcomer tells that he went locked in OFW, you are replying to them like if he was the same person with a "i told you, now suffer the consequences", is excesive and you are asking for that person to write a gross reply and start a conflict

Actually, i just deleted a pretty nice post from @Tonmoy Cruze saying how much he loves you (dont use insults or gross words again btw, or we will have to give warning points or ban you)

It's like ye think giving this guy shit over ofw will somehow teach the next guy (who has never been on this site either) a lesson. There are users only just discovering today that they can install cfw, it's not their fault.

Click to expand...

We can blame about not using the search engine of the forum, or not searching in google... but well... is going to continue happening anyway
Tomorrow we will have new users asking for the same things... in this forum the moderators "filter" some posts by deleting them when are waiting in the moderation queue (the most annoying) but we allow some (the most polite)

I just built one and tested and works fine. (it only takes less than 2 minutes to patch existing REX and D-REX)..

Again, this will only be useful for some users.. A lot of functions won't work correctly don't expect 100% functionality since there's been known issues like external game rips not loading.. broken ISO support.. no BDMovie ISO and PS2.. (however if you have unmarried BD board attached, it should work better.) Users with broken lens do not need this either.

Tried making a nobd version using the settings you made, but mine ends in error. Only needed the nobd which is why i can't use yours since i'm using the bluetooth function. Can you please upload a nobd of rex only? Or help me convert the regular one to nobd? thanks!

WTF...? I did not mention this user once..... nor his OFW update....

1. I was taking the p**s out of what @psykosis said.... not the user..

2. I then simply stated to @ISAK.M that its impossible to "accidentally" update and the PS3 gives you fair warning and opportunity to abort the update... which is a simple fact... not aimed at the user in any way at all .... but a reply to ISAK.M.....

3. Again.... I did not mention this user in any way shape or form or make pun's at the user.

Also I believe I not made another jab at someone for this since @DeViL303 made this comment you have quoted as I found the point he made very valid.

4. I also do not do this every time some say's this. Though I have done it few times before, but not every time.

Again I fail to see why I am mentioned in this when nothing at all was aimed directly or indirectly at this user...... If I had said something then fair enough, point taken but when I am being dragged into something I have not done this time is a different matter......

Come on guys, relax. I know all these accidental updates are annoying, but we don't have to be toxic to one another.

I am a cfw user since 4.81 came out, I read numerous topics here and on other forums and I still don't know all the things I would like to know. I really do mind all these posts that truly show the original posters didn't even try to Google and learn, when I was spending so many hours to learn.

Maybe someone should make a sticky thread of What to do when you accidentally update your PS3 or something.

And let's not spam the threads with I did or I didn't insult this or that user.

Gets really annoying, immature and makes users that like to spend time reading info to read useless posts.

Countless times I thought these last days to delete my account and remove this site from bookmarks. I will not be missed but I will miss the useful info found here.

Accidents really do happen too, I really did accidently install OFW during testing mods the other day, soft bricked, went into recovery, the console had 4.84 OFW available online, 4.82 CFW on USB, but it ignored those and installed 4.50 OFW from GT6 bluray without asking me at all or showing me the version number. I forgot it was in drive. Actually it had been in there for months as I was used to working with firmware patched to block disc updates.. anyway can happen.

I also do not do this every time some say's this. Though I have done it few times before, but not every time.

Exactly, you did it before and im mentioning it now because you 3 are repeating the same pattern or very similar
This is the first time a moderator mentions it, but i thought in it before and i guess others too, i thought it was needed for a moderator to mention it to you 3 directly

Again I fail to see why I am mentioned in this when nothing at all was aimed directly or indirectly at this user...... If I had said something then fair enough, point taken but when I am being dragged into something I have not done this time is a different matter......

Im not starting a drama and dragging you into it, is the other way, im trying to moderate you to not fall into new dramas

The other users get annoyed, then eventually they writes some gross words, and this gives the moderators more work, also generates multiple posts like this one im writing right now that was not needed

Edit:
Also, it changes the "mood" of the community like if we had a "elite sceners" ghetto, and thats not good imo

Was not implying that you were, nor was it intended in any way to suggest that. But I did feel like I was being dragged into it with what you mentioned about the user.

I have stopped the stupid comments about people updating was simply thought why the heck was I being brought in to whats being said on this thread when nothing I said suggested I was joining in again....

Tried making a nobd version using the settings you made, but mine ends in error. Only needed the nobd which is why i can't use yours since i'm using the bluetooth function. Can you please upload a nobd of rex only? Or help me convert the regular one to nobd? thanks!

You can safely use noBD/noBT, noBT is just to ignore BT firmware update not disable BT..

Been with the scene (various consoles) since the very beginning, mostly reading and learning. Only a few years ago I decided to actually get active and creating accounts for the forums I've been lurking the shadows.

Hi Joonie, thanks for the tip. i installed the latest Toolbox (ignoring the message telling that a newer version is already installed) and voilá everything is fine. Thanks again!

I have another question now: I set XMB operation mode to "Retail" so that the search for media servers is always enabled (which it was). But in that mode, I was not able to run any PSP game (converted to remaster as well as mounted and then launched with the PSP launcher).
I reverted back to XMB "Debug" operation and everything ran fine (except for the media server search...)

Is the very beginning since 2010? or do you mean since beginning of console hacking?

I sure don't hope so... But what exactly do you mean with broken? There are some hiccups here and there, but that's what I always expect using homebrew...
I will look into this PSP thingy more deeply tonight.
